Nebraska Opportunity Grant (formerly Nebraska State Grant)

The state of Nebraska provides
the Nebraska Opportunity Grant (NOG) - formerly the Nebraska State Grant - to students who meet certain qualifications.
Qualifications
include being a Nebraska resident, attending a Nebraska
postsecondary institution, and having a minimum EFC as determined by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The NOG is awarded through
postsecondary institutions within the state. Therefore, students must apply to
the school to be considered for the grant. All institutions require applicants
to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which is
available from high school counselors, the
EducationQuest College Planning
offices
located in Nebraska or on line at
www.fafsa.ed.gov. Some institutions require an institutional
application as well, so make sure you check with the financial aid office at the
school(s) you are interested in attending.

For additional financial aid information, students can contact
EducationQuest or online at the
FinAid® Web site.

J. Ritchie Morrow, financial aid
coordinator for the CCPE, presented the 2012-2013 year-end findings for the
Nebraska State Grant program to Commissioners at their Commission meeting on
October 31, 2013.
